Andrew Collins - interesting person that he is - is no more cognizant of Atlantis that you or I or anyone in this forum.  It just so happens, he writes books about what he thinks, and gets them published.  He also writes books about UFO's  but it hasn't been proven yet that they exist - hence of course the term.  Unidentified F O's.  He has no credentials to make him an expert on anything.  He's just a guy that wrote a book.  He has no PhD in anything qualifying him in any field of expertise. 

Andrew Collins (born 1957) is an author with an interest in the paranormal.
After an uneventful school career, in which he was banned from taking the English O-level exam because of his poor writing ability, Collins eagerly accepted a position working as an export shipping clerk in London. His childhood interest in the mysteries of life eventually led to him becoming a UFO investigator, whereby he would visit witnesses to strange phenomena and then file reports with national organisations. In 1976 he became a familiar figure in the embryonic punk movement, forming his own band and going to gigs with the likes of novelist and NME writer Tony Parsons and Irish pal Shane McGowan, who went on to form legendary Irish folk-rock band The Pogues. At the same time, Collins continued to investigate UFO cases, including the now famous Aveley abduction, the first full-blown time-loss UFO experience ever reported on British soil. It brought him into contact with psychologist and writer Graham Phillips, who was then working as a parapsychologist studying the psychological profile of witnesses to the paranormal.

Here's a link to his web site.  He is a psychic quester.   What amazes me is, he supposedly finds things with psychic talent, but can't find evidence of Atlantis which he says is offshore from Cuba.
